But the _real_ unpractical bit is that you need a Bitcoin client connected to the network to spend Bitcoins. Cell phones don't have the bandwidth to be constantly downloading everybody's blocks.

0/conf will work for retail transactions.  I bet the rate of people using a double-spend technique to screw people out of money would be roughly equivalent to the rate of people using counterfeit bills for a cash transaction.  And whoever the retailer is can use security cameras or other techniques to track the perp down and prosecute them.

...unless you're buying something expensive, like a big-screen TV.

There are lots of uninteresting reasons why people might hate Bitcoin, ranging from pure jealousy to healthy skepticism.

Faulty hardware can and sometimes does catch fire. Keep an extinguisher handy.
